Posted by: Trashman on November 7, 2009 11:02AM CST BC Make sure the drinks are chilled.....

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 11:03AM CST And BC is the first one up and at em. So trash what do you think Corn by 10

Posted by: Trashman on November 7, 2009 11:08AM CST Interesting Sipple picked an upset for NU today. That has to be straight gut instinct because there's very little logic stat-wise to suggest we should be in this game. Must be all the hope in the inexperienced O-line for them vs our D-line. The spread begs you to take OU..... I'll go with Sip, NU 20 OU 16. *sidenote---we will have to get a defensive score (or at least put us inside the 5) to get to 20. Otherwise we lose in my book.

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 11:08AM CST HelU! Hell Yea! Need Roy to be healthy and running hard. UNfortunately, cleaning out the garage comes first, partying second...albeit a CLOSE second...kinda like the wagondrivers, hopefully.

Posted by: Trashman on November 7, 2009 11:12AM CST DBP No. Not enough hippie lettuce for a pick like that.

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 11:16AM CST trash here ya go catch me if you can corn 24 wagondrivers 17

Posted by: Trashman on November 7, 2009 11:19AM CST DBP You just think you're running fast. Notice you're always in a passing lane for a reason.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 7, 2009 11:20AM CST I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face But I've come through But it's been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise - I consider it a challenge before the whole human race And I aint gonna lose - Geaux Big Red Geaux LSU

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 11:20AM CST DONU defense and special teams takes 14, offense only has to score 12. DONU defense holds Sooners to 16, their defense gets lucky and takes 7. 26 to 23 Huskerville is happy!!

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 11:22AM CST life in the fast lane........ corn could be in the oncoming lane gbr

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 11:27AM CST The Husker Truck will run the wagondrivers off the road. It's a cool vision anyway...

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 11:28AM CST Wait a minute...HuskerTruckers...that's even better!

Posted by: Message on November 7, 2009 11:35AM CST sorry folks. love our huskers but we just aren't there yet ou 45 nu 10

Posted by: bruNo on November 7, 2009 11:37AM CST ku wiffs on a 30 yd FG try. Mangino almost took up my whole wide screen when they showed him, his varsity jacket looks like a modified Snuggie...

Posted by: JTHF on November 7, 2009 11:38AM CST Busiekcreek, good luck to the Tigers this afternoon. I will be watching that one.

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 11:38AM CST 45 for the Laters? You and I have not been watching the same defense!!

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 11:46AM CST No one here has to apologise for saying OU will win...unless, of course, you are already admitting that you are WRONG!!! :)

Posted by: bruNo on November 7, 2009 11:50AM CST OMG, Reesing has all day and throws a pick, plus shot to the head by the other KU guy....

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 11:51AM CST UCF handling Texas 3-0 in the 2nd quarter

Posted by: bruNo on November 7, 2009 11:52AM CST that won't hold up, TX is a big 2nd half team.

Posted by: SuperHusker17 on November 7, 2009 11:56AM CST Touchdown Texas and I think Northwestern broke Ricky Stanzi

Posted by: bruNo on November 7, 2009 11:57AM CST whoa, I better get off here, got those games dvr'd... ;)

Posted by: Message on November 7, 2009 11:57AM CST defense will get tired after the offense puts them on the field all day

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 11:59AM CST I don't think so...they have a good motor and it's OU!

Posted by: EdwardPe on November 7, 2009 12:01PM CST hi guys , i won't get the game here in nittany lion country tonite. hope husker offense can do something tonite I know the blackshirts will bring it. A few months ago someone had a site where you can watch games on internet for free, kind of illegal but good for me if somebody can post that site it would be awesome. I had it bookmarked but my computer crashed and all info gone,thanks go big red!

Posted by: SuperHusker17 on November 7, 2009 12:09PM CST See I kinda thought about our defense getting worn out from being on the field a lot if our current offense struggles persist but OU's offense, if they do their no huddle stuff, will make it fast. At least if they play like they did in the first half of the K-State game, they have all the opportunity in the world to produce. Granted I don't think comparing the K-State D to our's is no comparison. But obviously we need to have our offense produce something this game to help keep the defense off the field. I found a ticket just yesterday so I'm hoping we can pull off the upset. Come on Big Red.

Posted by: JTHF on November 7, 2009 12:12PM CST EdwardPe, was that on Justintv? I seem to remember that but haven't ever watched from that site.

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 12:42PM CST Not an OU/NU question, but how come UT is playing Central Florida in the middle of conference season?

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 12:44PM CST Anyone watching the KU-KSU game? I think our defense is gunna tear both of these offenses up... KSU runs the option like every play... and KU runs that little spread attack that they've been doinig lately, but Reesing doesn't look as good as he did last year.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 7, 2009 12:44PM CST And Texas can't even blame it on a postponement, i.e. hurricane Go Big Red Geaux LSU

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 12:46PM CST Jeez... Reesing has had two fumbles in the 5 min i've been watching. If we just hit him he caughs up the ball...

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 12:47PM CST Come on UCF! Beat Texas!

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 7, 2009 12:48PM CST I've cleaned everything; bout the only thing left is washing the roof. lol 99 minutes till kickoff

Posted by: SuperHusker17 on November 7, 2009 12:50PM CST Yeah the KSU vs KU game is terrible. We better destroy both these teams.

Posted by: BleedingRed on November 7, 2009 12:51PM CST Huskersincebirth2, What channel is the game on? I could not find it on directV.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 12:52PM CST Well if KSU wins today... we're gunna need to win today...

Posted by: BleedingRed on November 7, 2009 12:53PM CST Busiekcreek, I am guessing that since I have picked Bama that coming over and cleaning at my place it out?

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 12:53PM CST KSU-KU is on Versus UT-UCF is on Foxsports South West

Posted by: BleedingRed on November 7, 2009 12:54PM CST That figures. Directv does not carry versus. Oh well, I just wanted to watch our upcoming opponents. I'll see them soon enough I suppose.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 7, 2009 12:56PM CST Bleeding Red, I get like this every year for this game. You rascal, I am not about to clean 'no Gump fan's house. I think if somebody came up behind me now and yelled boo, I'd probably land in Kansas.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 12:58PM CST BleedingRed: It's not a very exciting game. KU has caught the turnover bug. Reesing has 1 INT and 2 Fumbles so far. It looks like if you put pressure on Reesing he gets rattled. I think he's gunna have a hard time vs Nebraska's DL. KSU just looks terrible. I don't know how they are leading the North right now.

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 12:59PM CST Boise State vs Big Red in 2011? Broncos begging for competition! Both share the same open date...Sept. 3. Why not? http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=dw-boise110709&prov=yhoo&type

Posted by: BleedingRed on November 7, 2009 1:00PM CST Busiekcreek, You know that I don't mean any offense by my pick. Just seems to me that in a really big game that Bama's defense will show up and create problems for LSU's offense. Now, knowing that Bo is no longer there, I suspect that your defense has 1 or 2 holes in it. I think it will be an absolute nail biter and Bama will somehow find a way to get it done. I do hope that I am wrong though.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:02PM CST Im hoping that UCF can beat Texas right now 3rd Qrt. Texas up 14-3

Posted by: SuperHusker17 on November 7, 2009 1:02PM CST Ha ha I don't know if anyone else is still watching the halftime report on Versus but the guy just said "you can't throw out the baby with the bath water" about Todd Reesing and his turnovers. I don't know what kind of saying that is but it seems hilarious to me. That's why there aren't big name games on Versus.

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 1:04PM CST LOL, Busie! Need some Valium? I've been cleaning out closets...that's always a good way to work off some excess energy. You've probably done yours already though, so don't know what else need whippin' into shape?

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 1:06PM CST Super...that saying is as old as the hills...I take it you're not?

Posted by: BleedingRed on November 7, 2009 1:07PM CST SuperHusker17, Essentially he is saying that although Todd is having problems and needs to clean his game up that it does not do any good to take him out. Instead, focus on getting rid of whatever is causing his issues. In this case however it is clearly that he does not like to get hit, pressured or benched. I hope he starts against us.

Posted by: BleedingRed on November 7, 2009 1:08PM CST Boonies, Is that a power puff girl? With guns no less. I'll watch out for you.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 7, 2009 1:08PM CST I'm believing this will be the redemption game for the boys. Got to get through this one and now after that it's NU. This being a rabid fan of two teams is wearing me slap out. Nail biter (what's that) mine were gnawed to the bone by Wednesday. You know Oklahoma and Alabama are not some kind of gods. They can be taken out. The Little Engine That Could has got a full head of steam.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:11PM CST Well upset alert over. Texas up now 21-3 Game over there

Posted by: BleedingRed on November 7, 2009 1:12PM CST Okay Busiekcreek, Let's not be greedy and ask that 1 of the 2 teams win. Now, knowing what I know about your game, I am excited to take that deal. I am bad hugh?

Posted by: SuperHusker17 on November 7, 2009 1:12PM CST Bleeding, yeah I got the general idea of the meaning but just had never heard the saying. Boonies, you are correct, I'm only 22. Maybe that makes sense why I hadn't heard it before.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 7, 2009 1:16PM CST Boonies, that was a good one. Anytime there is a hurricane brewing in the Gulf, I go on a cleaning rampage. I figure if I'm going to get blown to the Beulah Land, I'll travel in clean robes.

Posted by: Mr HH on November 7, 2009 1:17PM CST Beware of CornCat! www.HuskerFanatic.com GBR!

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:18PM CST KSU's defense is TERRIBLE! Like a pee-wee team could drive the ball vs them. Their offense has a little bit of speed, but still isn't that great. Their offense is option, option, wildcat, option, PA.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:22PM CST Have they announced or said who the starting QB is for the game today??

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 7, 2009 1:23PM CST Huskersincebirth2, you don't go and tell your enemy about the battle plan

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:25PM CST I hope KU plays this bad when they play us... it would be a cake walk. KSU up 17-7 now

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 1:25PM CST hh it is the "WILD CORNCAT"

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:29PM CST Y don't we call it... the "WILD JACKALOPE" ?? That's a little more fitting for Nebraska right? lol

Posted by: rluben on November 7, 2009 1:37PM CST Will the real corncat please stand up, please stand up...wikidee wikkidee wikkidee wik.

Posted by: BleedingRed on November 7, 2009 1:38PM CST rluben, What's up Slim Shady!

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 1:38PM CST Kstate Daniel Thomas is killin' KU...131 yds. HelU! Hell Yea!! We need Roy!!!

Posted by: rluben on November 7, 2009 1:39PM CST yo

Posted by: BleedingRed on November 7, 2009 1:40PM CST Curtain Call track 7!

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:41PM CST HuzkerMunky: How about Mike Rozier? I think he's got a game or two of elgibility left right?? lol

Posted by: BleedingRed on November 7, 2009 1:42PM CST Well my son wants to watch his leagues super bowl game so I am outta here. GO HUSKERS! ROUTE OU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 1:42PM CST DBP I hope Lil HERBie doesn't get runover by a wagondriver. Wild CornCat will prevail!!! Go Big BoFense

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:44PM CST Jeez... Texas's Shipley has 273 yrds recieving today... and there's still 10 min in that game left...

Posted by: youth of NE on November 7, 2009 1:45PM CST any1 paying attention to NW vs IU? How will they pull out of this 1?

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:45PM CST aTm beating Colorado right now Baylor beating Mizzou right now

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 1:45PM CST HSB, I'd take Roger Craig too...if we can pry him outta that Cairopractors chair..i suck at spelling

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:47PM CST youth of NE: NW is gunna be in victory formation and there's gunna be a fumble on the last knee. Bad exchange between center and QB and Iowa is gunna pick it up and do some Cal v Stanford stuff... and win lol

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 1:49PM CST Aww...just joshin' with ya Superhusker...believe me, I'd much rather be 22 again than be familiar with all those OLD sayings...lol Okay, KSU is takin' it to KU...this is NOT what we need, right? WTH is goin' on?!? I HATE having to worry about these other games. I wish we controlled our own destiny a little more...that ISU game is gonna bite us big time. But, all we can do is step up from here on out and let the chips fall.......

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 1:50PM CST Iwegians always wait till the last minute...usually.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:53PM CST Boonies: I think it's ok if KSU wins today. Really we can take a loss today if they lose, but then we'll need someone to beat them. As long as we win out against our North opponents we're ok i think

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 1:53PM CST No sweat Boonies...the HuskerTruck tandem of Suh and Crick will plow through KU and KSU...DONU controls their own destiny! GBR!!!

Posted by: Mr HH on November 7, 2009 1:54PM CST Throw The Bones with The WILD CORNCAT!

Posted by: no nothing on November 7, 2009 1:56PM CST I just took a spin downtown to see how things are going. There are quite a few people out and about. A lot of scalpers are out. If you need tickets they are available. Well, I think I will watch some football and maybe take a nap. In a few hours I have to go back down there and I know it is going to be a zoo. Enjoy the game everyone. GBR

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 1:56PM CST Amen Brother HH! Preach it!!

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 1:58PM CST Whew! Thanks HSB and Munky (love that BTW). You're right, of course...we ARE still in control...just gotta step up. The fighting Snyders have some tough games left, right?

Posted by: edmcc on November 7, 2009 1:58PM CST Iowa no longer unbeaten! Northwestern 17 Iowa 10!

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 1:58PM CST Iowa no longer undefeated

Posted by: HuzkerMunky on November 7, 2009 1:59PM CST Well, break time is over...back to garage cleaning. Keep the Faith! Bo will have these young men ready to go!

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 2:02PM CST Boonies: They have Mizzou and Nebraska left, and that's it. They host Mizzou and come to Lincoln. If they win today and Nebraska beats Kansas next week. They'll come out swinging cuz that game will be for the North. We just need ISU to lose today vs OSU and Nebraska controls their own destiny all the way to the Big 12 Championship. Basically we just can't lose any more Nort games.

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 2:10PM CST OK...gotcha. Well, there's no excuse for losing any of em, so if they do lose, I guess they don't deserve the be there anyway. Lordy mercy...I was just reading snippet about the OU game last year. I knew it was bad, but I guess I just blocked out that is was 62-28! I mean it's HARD to score 62 even if you score on every possession (of course, they scored a couple of times on OUR possessions) Ah, well...it's a new day.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 2:21PM CST Well good things are happening. Mizzou is beating Baylor which is good if KSU beats KU. B/c then Mizzou will still have a chance at the North. That means next week when KSU-Mizzou play they will both be playing for the North. And we could use a Mizzou win there. Then we could def. afford to lose today. Not saying that we will.

Posted by: Corky on November 7, 2009 2:22PM CST Anybody else read the Boise St. article on yahoo.com. Boise St. cant get anybody to play them in 2011. They even call out Nebraska because we have an open slot. I say we petition A.D. Osborne to get that game scheduled. Brian C or Sipple lead the charge.

Posted by: Mr HH on November 7, 2009 2:29PM CST Not sure Boise wants to come to Lincoln. They might not like the outcome. But I am all for it! Lets see what I can do, lol!

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 2:29PM CST Corky - I posted the link and made a similar comment about playing Boise State. However, not a single response from any blogger on here. Maybe they are all brain dead...

Posted by: Islander/Husker on November 7, 2009 2:32PM CST Very competitive Big 12 this year in both divisions. North is shaping up to be real tough. Kansas State is rearing it's head for sure., I will want LSU toi take it to Alabama. Saban is a guy I have issues with. Alabama is good I admit. But hoping for a Tiger victory. Lets say 21-17 LSU

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 2:32PM CST I would like to play Bosie St., except one problem. I think our schedule is already filled for 2011. We would have to drop a game I think. And when you do that you have to pay the school you dropped alot of money.

Posted by: Corky on November 7, 2009 2:35PM CST Mr. HH, Boise St. wants to play a big name BCS school at that BCS schools stadium. They are not wanting a home and away series.

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 2:40PM CST The schedule for 2001 is not full. Room for one more game on Sept. 3 to make a total of 4 out of conference games. What I think is maybe Big Red would rather stay with Sun Belt teams they know they can beat as a tune up to the Big 12 schedule???

Posted by: rluben on November 7, 2009 2:42PM CST Just read that Corky. lol Calling us out, they best hope they don't get their wish. The last thing they want to do is play Nebraska in 2011...if they plan on their starters making it to conference play that is. They are dang lucky they didn't play Oregon later in the season. Wouldn't have even been close. Bo and Tom, they are calling you out , they say you are chicken to play , either that or you are holding them down on purpose. I say make them humble in 2011, talking that smack, they even think they are more famous than Nebraska lol. They beat OK when OK would have rather been eating holiday leftovers instead of playing a nobody and got lazy....and then BSU gets all cocky. Silly little blue turf smurfs.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 2:42PM CST HSB They are a game short for 2011/12 season but they are already playing Washington, Fresno Staate and Wyoming.....I'd be suprised if they would want another high calibur team especially the first game of the season.....

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 2:42PM CST 2011 Schedule http://www.huskers.com/SportSelect.dbml?SPSID=3&SPID=22&DB_OEM_ID=100&Q_SEASON=2011

Posted by: black&bluehusker on November 7, 2009 2:44PM CST Well, well, well, If Snyder came come back on board at KSU and get that program turned around like he has, it really makes me wonder about our coaching. Appears to me they are the team to beat.

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 2:46PM CST You'd be surprised is they would want another high caliber team especially the first game of the season? Sounds like Goliath fearing David. I think it would be a great opportunity, but perhaps some fans fear the opportunity...lol...

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 2:46PM CST at this point in the season Every team is the team to beat......

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 2:48PM CST Low Country Husker: That's what Im saying by the schedule being "filled" already. I don't think we'll want to add another name opponent... but who knows. Mayb they will and we can shut BSU up. Everyone knows that if they played in the Big 12 or SEC they would not be nearly as good as they look.

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 2:49PM CST Wyoming, Fresno State & Washington are all middle of the road teams...good, but not nearly great. Boise would be the challenge...unless you are thinking those first three would be tough, which does not say much about what you think about your own team.

Posted by: black&bluehusker on November 7, 2009 2:50PM CST Right you are LCH but this season could be slipping away fast. Think we will have a good read on how the season plays out after tonight GBR

Posted by: rluben on November 7, 2009 2:51PM CST I say play 'em, Tom knows what it was like to have people scared to play you in nonconference. Ease their pain Tom, so our players can then serve up some pain of the physical kind to them.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 2:52PM CST Well looks like Dan Hawkins needs to get a copy of the Boulder News Paper and start job hunting.... Promising 10 wins and now they are about to fall to 2-7 lol I love it!

Posted by: Corky on November 7, 2009 2:52PM CST I think BSU and Nebraska both have a slot open at the end of September. Rluben, its time for our Huskers to man up. If we want the nation to consider us a legitimate powerhouse again, we need to play some high caliber opponents.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 2:53PM CST B&B Agreed I look for a tough battle decided at the end should be a great game for the fans to watch. Come to think of it the rest of the season should be great football, not because the rest of the opponents are so good but because the Huskers always get's their best effort when they play them.....

Posted by: black&bluehusker on November 7, 2009 2:56PM CST Maybe playing Boise St would give us a chance to beat a ranked opponent. Something for us to hang our hats on. That way we could say we are back.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on November 7, 2009 2:56PM CST To be fair, Hawkins promise of 10 wins, might have been a three or four year plan.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 2:57PM CST Well right when I say that... aTm screws up and lets sCUm tie it up.

Posted by: rluben on November 7, 2009 2:58PM CST For sure Corky, I sort of recall T.O. saying something about wanting to upgrade the schedule in the future and Bo saying yeah we want to play the best, we'll play anyone or something along those lines. Hope that wasn't just lip service talk, this should already be a done deal, especially with the smack talk.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 2:58PM CST Islander Are you watching the LSU/Gump game? Kind of boring so far. Appears it's playing into Busie's hands.....at least I sure hope so

Posted by: rluben on November 7, 2009 3:01PM CST I'm pretty sure Tom was griping about if we wanted out of certain games we'd have to buy them outblah blah blah and that another issue was teams wanted a home and away and we need the home game revenues. Well Boise St wants none of that, they just want a decent BCS opponent to upgrade their schedule, and are willing to travel to make it happen with no home n home requirement. Don't be wusses Bo n Tom...man up. Get it done before someone else takes them up on it.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on November 7, 2009 3:02PM CST Low, I am watching that game, not much happening until that last play by LSU

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 3:02PM CST not so fast birth not so fast. 21 21 But he deserves to be gone anyway

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 3:04PM CST rluben: One thing that people don't realize is that this years and next years schedules weren't made by TO and BO. They were made by Callahan and SP. If you look further into the future you'll see some tough opponents. 2013 looks extremely tough: Wyoming @ Southern Miss UCLA @ Mizzou Texas Tech ISU @ Baylor Oklahoma @ KU Kansas @ sCUm You'll also see the likes of Miami and Tennessee in a few years. We've got some good competition coming to Lincoln over the next 5-10 years.

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 3:05PM CST "Maybe playing Boise St would give us a chance to beat a ranked opponent." Really? Doesn't sound like confidence in the home team. And that is why they may not be scheduled...fear... Better to play Middle Tennessee or Western Kentucky or Ball State. Maybe Solich's Ohio Bobcats or Gill's Buffalo Bulls. But that might scare some too...

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 3:07PM CST rluben: But when you buy out that contract it costs alot.... and you people forget, we are still paying Bill Callahan for his tremendous job here (sarcasm)

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 3:08PM CST Cuntryboy Is it my imagination or do you sound alot like a frustrated 27 year old who likes to argue over everything? Things that make you go hmmmmmm

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 3:21PM CST LCH...no on all counts. I just see an opportunity, but no one wants to talk about it or don't want to consider it because after all, in 2011 we also have to play the likes of Wyoming and Washington and Fresno and of course that tough Big 12 schedule that includes ISU, CSU and KSU...oh my!

Posted by: no nothing on November 7, 2009 3:21PM CST LCH. My guess is he may be red-one's dad. Look at the picture. GBR

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 3:22PM CST no guts no glory

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 3:24PM CST Kuntry it's a ways out there I'm sure those that make those decision will give it consideration.

Posted by: no nothing on November 7, 2009 3:26PM CST In a little bit I will be heading downtown. I hope most of the out of town folks are all ready there so I don't have to sit in traffic too long. It looks like it is going to be a very nice evening for football. There appears to be very little or no wind right now. GBR

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 3:27PM CST The only reason he called out Nebraska specifically is because Perlman is the Chancellor at Nebraska and he is also the chairman of the BCS right now. BSU doesn't like the BCS because BSU doesn't get rewarded for playing Hawaii, Fresno St., San Jose St. and other pushovers all year long. If the chairman of the BCS had been Georgia's chancellor im sure he would have called out Georgia and not Nebraska.

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 3:29PM CST Those who give it consideration listen to the rumblings of those like you and others in places like this. If voices speak against such a match up or sound hesitant to meet the dreaded Broncos...the powers that be will steer clear. However, if the fan base takes note of the game and presses for it, it may be scheduled. Just think of the revenue and exposure on nat'l tv. How could we not want that? The only thing that would seem to weigh against such a game would be the fear of a loss to start the season. Go with Bo's claim of anyone, anytime, anywhere...we'll play the best!

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 3:29PM CST no nothing: Go to Homes Lake and take the shuttle to the game. That way you wont have to waste gas just sitting there and stuff.

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 3:30PM CST HSB - I saw earlier that u said we need KSU to lose today or we need to win tonight. I've done the math and the only thing we need to happen to win the north is ISU to lose to either Okie ST or Mizz, which is currently looking good. We can lose tonight and win out and we would have the tie breaker against KSU, so Nebraska controls it's own destiny in the north even with a loss tonight. You can't ask for more than that, but that doesn't mean I want us to lose tonight;) With a complete effort we can win this game. BO BIG RED!!!

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 3:32PM CST So if Fresno State is a pushover, why are we even playing them ourselves in 2011?

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 3:35PM CST Robka: If you look at some of my other posts you'll see that I said that. As long as we win all our North games we are good. I was saying it would be nice if KSU would have lost today though. That would make it much easier. If KSU had lost today it would give us one more slip up I think. But seeing as how they didn't looks like we'll just have to win out... starting tonight.

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 3:35PM CST I'm loving the Hawk upset and watching the golden domers struggling against Navy. GO BIG UPSETS!!!

Posted by: no nothing on November 7, 2009 3:37PM CST Earlier this week the LJS said we have to win out and ISU must lose one game in order for us to win the North. Robka is correct based upon what I read. GBR

Posted by: rluben on November 7, 2009 3:37PM CST Oh I know that T.O. didn't do this yrs or next schedule, he did schedule the Wyoming game though. Schedules are done well in advance, then sometimes tweaked later on by the opponents or ourselves.

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 3:38PM CST HSB - Sorry too many posts to read them all. I do not want to settle for a 4 loss conf championship. We have a good enough D to beat KU & CU on the road and KSU for senior day at home. We should win all those games if we want the North. BO BIG RED!!!

Posted by: no nothing on November 7, 2009 3:38PM CST HB2. I would have to drive 12 miles across town to get to Holmes lake. I just live about 3 miles NW of the stadium. It will be ok and I am used to it anyway. Thanks GBR

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 3:40PM CST kuntryboy: LISTEN! Jeez... I said CALLAHAN and SP set up these schedules. Not Bo and TO. Callahan wanted to schedule pushovers because he wanted wins and needed wins b/c he couldn't win very much in the Big 12. Callahan's thinking was schedule 3-4 weak OC games that way I only have to win 2-3 confrence games to get a bowl. And Im not arguing against a game vs BSU... im just saying that that would be TO's and Bo's thinking. What we would make in revenue from the ESPN exposure we would lose to the team that we dropped.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 3:43PM CST no nothing: Ok, just suggesting it. When I am able to leave Texas and go to games I usually do that to save some gas for the return trip to the DFW area lol. Plus my grandma that I stay with lives like right next door to Holmes Lake.

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 3:45PM CST You would not be dropping a team in 2011. We have an open date already. Nothing lost in scheduling Boise. I agree that Fresno & Wyoming should be pushovers. Washington ain't real great either. So let's take the opportunity to play a good team! Unless of course you think that Boise is not a good team. If so...we need to find a real challenge.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 3:49PM CST Kuntryboy: Im saying what they do is they usually plan these things out. We have those open days for a reason. - At the beginning of the season gives us one more week of training camp and sorting out personel problems - At the end of non-confrence games right before confrence gives us some much needed rest that we need going into a very tough confrence schedule. They have reasons that those days are open.

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 3:54PM CST Go Sailors!!! Beat the irish. & GO BIG RED!!!

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 3:54PM CST So which week will they take off? They have a game to schedule for either Sept. 3 or Oct. 1. Or will they decide to take both weeks off?

Posted by: no nothing on November 7, 2009 3:54PM CST I will say I am glad we had those sun belt teams scheduled this year. GBR

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 4:01PM CST Gosh...Alabama's offense doesn't look very much better than ours? Course that's against a very good LSU D (not Baylor or ISU) Dang... I love these sobberknocker games. There's some HITTING going on!

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 4:01PM CST Amen to the Sun Belt! Now let's go after the WAC!

Posted by: no nothing on November 7, 2009 4:01PM CST Attention Boise State AD, AKA Kuntryboy. Our Athletic Department will look at this in the off season. Right now they have a game to play in a couple of hours. Please send your business card to the attention of Dr Tom. He will get back to you when this season is over. GBR

Posted by: kuntryboy on November 7, 2009 4:05PM CST Of course, let's not talk about being called out by Boise. But you are right...Okie is not only calling us out too, but is in the house. Let's git'm boys!

Posted by: HoosierHusker on November 7, 2009 4:07PM CST Baylor is putting the hurt on Mizzery! LOL.. Go Baylor!

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 4:08PM CST Hoosier What network is that game on?

Posted by: no nothing on November 7, 2009 4:12PM CST It is time for me to start getting ready to go. I hope everyone enjoys the game tonight. It is going to be a beautiful night for football. Later. GBR

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 4:14PM CST No No Have a great time scream fo me! Tell all those fellow bloggers you meet hello for me!

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 4:24PM CST Can you feel it?

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 4:26PM CST LCH: As the koolaid man says... " OHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 4:44PM CST ugh... colorado won? That thanksgiving game could be for the North...

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 4:47PM CST HSB You told me it was a sure thing that the Puffs would lose? Almost seems like you have to let these teams play the whole game before you decide who wins these days....LOL

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 4:50PM CST LCH: Sry... somtimes i start counting my chickens before thy hatch... aTm was up by alot at one point. Should have remembered the lesson i learned when dating my ex-girlfriend... do not count on Aggies ever...

Posted by: HoosierHusker on November 7, 2009 4:51PM CST Definately another crazy day of parity in Football striking again!

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 4:54PM CST Ugh... and now Navy is now blowin it...

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 4:54PM CST Dang! The domers get it back with 2 min! GO MIDDIES!!!

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 4:55PM CST HSB - I really doubt sCUm is going to beat Okie St, but either way we will take them down. BO BIG RED!!!

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 4:56PM CST Is Clausen already balding????

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 4:58PM CST Go big GAME OVER!!!

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 5:00PM CST Weise or Hawkins... which one is more-so on the hot seat???

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 5:03PM CST TD domers...it's still not over.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 5:03PM CST uh oh..... ND has a chance to win. Down by 2 with 24 sec left

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 5:04PM CST Dude Weis is waaaay to fat. GO BIG GAME OVER AGAIN!!!

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 5:06PM CST Hawkins is gone regardless

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 5:08PM CST Where r they going to get the coin to replace Hawkins? Their AD is broke after the Barnett debacle. GO BIG ScuM SUCKS!!!

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 5:09PM CST They can't afford it...unless you're writing the check, DBP? : )

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 5:10PM CST Robka food for thought...they could reassign Hawkins in the Athletic Department and alleviate the buy out (ala TN coach last year)

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 5:11PM CST Well, the Busie's are leading the Gumps, but both teams are dropping like flies...geez those fellas really don't like each other!

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 5:12PM CST The AD is not broke. They have the cash and just need to make the decision, and they will. Buffs may ruin the corn season

Posted by: Miller on November 7, 2009 5:14PM CST Hey all I didn't read through all the posts just got here, wanted to know who is starting at QB does anyone know?

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 5:14PM CST I already wrote my check. You?

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 5:15PM CST LCH - That's a possibility, but they will have to hire a no-name coach to replace. No coin for a proven head coach. GO BIG RED!!!

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 5:15PM CST Idea for a charity fundraiser: Mangino vs. Weiss...SUMO!

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 5:15PM CST The Gumps running game is a lot of fun to watch. This game is starting to heat up finally

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 5:16PM CST I heard the buffalo are looking at the buffalo coach. True story.

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 5:17PM CST Yup...I wrote mine (on the condition that they KEEP Hawk)...

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 5:19PM CST Ewww, scratch that sumo match. I just pictured both of em in those wedgie things and threw up in my mouth a little.......

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 5:20PM CST Boonies $5.00 don't cut it. It is amazing that steele picked Kstate to win the north. And you look at kansas and missouri bot rated at one time in the top 20 sitting at 1 and 4. I didn't believe it and neither did Sipple. sheesh. gbr

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on November 7, 2009 5:22PM CST LOLorado ROFLoes looking dangerous, eh DBP?

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on November 7, 2009 5:22PM CST Miller: starting QB = Cody Green -OR- Zac Lee

Posted by: Miller on November 7, 2009 5:25PM CST Thx Birth2, as I roll my eyes!

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 5:25PM CST Miller: starting QB = Cody Green -OR- Zac Lee _______________________________ HSB Are you willing to stake your reputation on that one LOL

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 5:28PM CST exiled, Tyler is a real QB. If hawkins would have made him the starter at the beginning I believe they would be rolling. The defense is quite good actually. Now for the corn, the qb needs to step up tonight period gbr

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 7, 2009 5:33PM CST DBP You confuse me are you a two team fan like Wrestler and Busie?

Posted by: Boonies on November 7, 2009 5:37PM CST Awww nuts! Tide just scored.

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 5:38PM CST low I am a three team fan

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 5:39PM CST dang that tide I dislike them as much as I dislike the wagondrivers

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 5:52PM CST That was BS LSU INT GO BIG FIRE THE REPLAY BOOTH SEC!!!

Posted by: JTHF on November 7, 2009 5:54PM CST LSU got screwed on that play.

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 5:54PM CST Sorry Busie. LSU just got screwed. BO BIG RED!!!

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 7, 2009 5:55PM CST THAT CALL WAS TYPICAL SEC REFS

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 5:57PM CST Do they have blind 90 yr olds in that booth? How in the hell can you look at that replay and not over turn that. I would not doubt if the replay guy is suspended after this game. Nice home cookin BO BIG RED!!!

Posted by: HuskerzVA on November 7, 2009 5:57PM CST Navy beat ND woooohoooo!

Posted by: HuskerzVA on November 7, 2009 5:59PM CST That's the good ole boy system at work!

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 6:01PM CST Another bad call in favor of the unbeaten Tide. Total face mask. The refs want to hand this game to Bama as much as the refs wanted KSU to beat Nebraska in the Crouch face mask game. I hate when the integrity of the game is violated. GO BIG FIX!!!

Posted by: Robka on November 7, 2009 6:04PM CST This season the SEC conference officials are making themselves look like crooked fools. GO BIG UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Posted by: JTHF on November 7, 2009 6:07PM CST Game thread is up and going
